Fantastic anniversary dinner! Our waiter Dahlip was so friendly and attentive. The filets were perfectly cooked and delicious with the truffle bearnaise sauce. The hot rolls that came to the table were so warm and fluffy. They helped us celebrate our anniversary with a yummy chocolate torte, I think. The ambiance was private and perfect, would definitely come back and recommend to family and friends!

Our server Claudia was great. However our wait time for drinks was so bad that the manager didn’t charge us. Yet our meals took longer than expected. We realize that we were there an hour before closing but we had made reservations and if the restaurant was not able to accommodate us then it should not have allowed us to make the reservation.
